Volunteer Leaders

Scouting is a volunteer organization. Thanks to the thousands of giving adults that provide leadership and support to the program, Scouting happens on a unit, district, and council level.

While volunteering is fun and rewarding it can also be a challenge. The BSA has many tools and trainings in place to help new and veteran volunteers alike be successful in delivering a quality program to all our Scouts.
